Waterproofing Hack For Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinets

[@normadoes]

I did this last year and used a pretty marble print tile at Home Depot, still loving it!!

[@tracybrown4941]

I did this many years ago under my then kitchen cabinet. It worked pretty good. Word of warning: moisture/gunk can get between the tiles so it is a good idea to silicone in between the tiles as you lay them as well, otherwise, this is a really good fix for under kitchen sink cabinets and it will last for years if done right. Also, this is a cheep fix - less than $10. 💖

[@TropicalCoils]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@sleeknub]

Yep, I came to the comments to say the same thing. This can actually make the problem worse if water gets into the seams and then can’t dry out.

[@jamescc2010]

Water can also run thru those gaps too. I would also get water alarm sensors. I prefer to get a big piece of water proof sheet instead of small tiles.

[@jayels3036]

Why not just grout it

[@susanmcdonald5960]

I did this several years ago under my sinks and shelves. They had press and peel tile at Dollar Tree...3 tiles for $1.00 or a box of 27 for $9.00. I bought 4 boxes. They are still in perfect condition under there. Plus it makes it easier to clean and you don't have to worry about spills because they are easy to clean up.

[@Killashandra111]

When I bought my condo in 1992 I put the cheapest vinyl floor tiles from Home Depot in the kitchen and the two bathrooms, including every drawer. It is now 29 years later they are still in place.

[@christomacelli8631]

I did this on my condo after buying it 20 years ago. I chose a pretty pattern. Do many people thought I was crazy, but it's been fantastic. Water leaks are bad enough, but spills of whatever is bad too. If something really nasty tips over, you can just remove the tiles and start over. This is a great suggestion.

[@joykelly440]

Great video! I removed the original rotten cabinet bottom & made a new one out of luan & cut it to the dimentions of the original & glued a leftover piece of vinyl flooring to protect the new cabinet "floor" from leaks/water damage. It has held up to the ravages of several different leaks for ten years:)

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Nice work!

[@kathycovington7301]

I'm a renter. Usually I go in and paint the inside of the cabinet, but this idea is so much better. Thank you so much!

[@rrome6178]

I think this is a great idea and will be doing thin my own home. The tile will make it much easier to wipe up various rings left by products stored in the cabinet.

[@msequal051]

Thank you so much I would have never thought about using tile. This was a problem when I rented my last home. Now that I’m a home owner I will be doing this low cost project!!

[@bettyannsanland863]

[@trbstang]

Great idea! I did the same with floor tiles several years ago after I replaced the bottom in the cabinet. Now I have a full width pull out drawer that will catch and contain any water. Great tips as always!

[@REXXSEVEN]

You definitely got my attention. Seen the results of these types of leaks way too many times. Sometimes major damage. And if it's particle board you can forget about it, not only is it damage but if there's anything sitting in the bottom of the cabinet that shelf will collapse, and water damaged particle board attracts roaches. Just a landslide of a complete mess. People also tend to put way too much heavy stuff putting more weight on that bottom shelf than they're supposed to, which usually contribute to bending or a collapse.

[@jamiehoule1583]

I am a renter myself and this is something I did in the cabinets in my place many years ago (been in the same house for 18 years so far). Initially I did this for an entirely different reason than for avoiding water damage from leaks. I have always had cats and they almost always have loved sleeping inside my bathroom vanity (which is always empty aside from the cats themselves). I wanted a way to be able to clean the inside of the cabinet without having to worry about the cheap liner or the particleboard of the cabinet becoming damaged over time. So I put in these vinyl tiles and it's been so easy to keep the insides of the cabinets clean and undamaged. I "splurged" on some clearance wood-like vinyl that closely matched the interior look of the existing cabinets and paid about 60 cents per tile when I did it. My bathroom vanity had some cosmetic damage on the inside walls from previous renters so in that cabinet I did the walls and the base. In the kitchen I just did the base because the walls were fine and the vinyl matched well enough that it didn't look out of place. My cats never go into the kitchen cabinets, but I wanted them to all have the same type of finish so that they were consistent. The house I rent definitely suffers from the "landlord special" for most of the repairs that were ever done to it. My landlord likes to "save money" by hiring the cheapest people to do the job and he definitely gets what he pays for. Most repairs he hires someone for look worse when they're done than before they were started. Whenever I can I've been doing smaller/easier projects like this one so that i know it will be good quality work and that when I'm done everything will match and actually look nice. As a bonus, my landlord pays me back for the repairs in the form of free or reduced rent until the amount I've spent on repairs is paid off. So it definitely benefits both of us for me to tackle little projects like this. And it's fun to see how much this place has improved over the years by just doing one little project at a time. And bonus #2 is that they've never raised my rent, so the extra value I'm adding to the place by slowly improving it isn't hurting me in the long run.

[@dansullivan2954]

I 've done the same as well. I'll also drill a hole behind the front stile so water will leak onto the floor to be detected. Great tip!

[@gordonmacqueen8694]

find the low spot along the front of the cabinet, drill a 1/4" hole near the front of the cabinet floor so that the water comes out on the floor where it's visible, rather than pooling up inside the cabinet. The peel and press tiles would work well, but I've also had success using scraps of loose-lay sheet vinyl, for a $0 upgrade ;)

Great video! I had heard of this hack a while back and bought some vinyl wood planks to put under mine (for that rustic look). The only advise I would add for you is, if it were me, I would put the uncut tiles in the front where it's the most visible and put any cut/trimmed pieces in the back. That way you mostly just see the pretty tiles. 😉

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Not a bad idea, thanks for the feedback Sheila 👍

[@njsongwriter]

That's what I did. Untrimmed edge on the front but both sides got trimmed because I centered the middle tile.

[@njsongwriter]

I just got done doing this today after replacing all the kitchen cabinets in our double wide manufactured home. It was an involved process because all the plumbing comes up through the floor (except for a supply line going through the exterior wall to a hose bib). So it took me a while to patch up the hole in the floor of the cabinet and putting vinyl tile on the floor of the cabinet covers that patch and makes everything look good... I mean great 😉!

[@Dnice3477]

I’d actually use those extra pieces on the sides and back as a backsplash and then run a bead.

[@RXSVN_2]

That's exactly what I was thinking when I left my other comment talking about concerns of whether the bottom of the cabinet is level to begin with and if it was already warped or bent in from previous heavy items or previous leak being placed on it. Because in cases like that the water will run to the center and then straight to the back of the cabinet. Both of these methods are dependent on people not putting heavy items in the cabinet that can cause it to buckle or Warp. Seems to be very common occurrence with particle board....Which is found in many rentals. I don't understand why someone doesn't put supports under the Shelf as they're installing these cabinets so that a collapse and warping cannot occur.

[@ronaldshank7589]

@@RXSVN_2 I work for an Apartment Rental Company, and I know what you mean. I've seen so many particle board bottoms either heavily damaged or just flat-out ruined by water leakage, that I've truly lost count. The best thing that can be done is turn off the water to the lines, remove the flooring from underneath the sink, replace it with an appropriately cut piece of plywood (Not OSB!), then, after installing that, and using either this gentleman's method, or using a piece of Waterproof Vinyl, secure said Vinyl to the bottom and the sides of the sink. THEN fix the Water Leak, turn the Water Pressure back on SLOWLY, just to make sure that the leaking area is fixed, then keep turning the Water Pressure back up, until it's fully back on. Check for leaks, and if there are none, you're good to go!

[@joshponder7179]

We do the same thing on all of our rentals. Instead of those cheap glue and stick pieces we buy a little extra vinyl plank and use that underneath. Cost is negligible and can usually be completed with leftovers from the floor. The peel and stick eventually bubbles up and peals off and starts to not look very good. We use the waterproof lifeproof brand that locks together so no glue and can be taken apart if needed and not that it matters but when we show the units it looks good and matches the kitchen flooring lol good tip.

What about preventing water from being able to go through the spaces between the tiles? I was thinking maybe putting and entire sheet of something onto the bottom of the cabinet first that has an adhesive backing to prevent water from seeping through the spaces in between and then put the tiles on top of that?

[@joefunsmith]

Or instead of 2 layers, use remnants from a roll-lino install. And either add vinyl cove moulding or just bring the lino curved up about 2 inches and either way, seal with silicone or a flexible white caulk.

Want a simple waterproof easy to clean way to protect under sinks? I line all my cabinets with yoga mats. 6’X2’ from the dollar store - oddly enough they are NOT a dollar, more like $4. I started doing it with my first home which had older cupboards. The interiors looked unappealing. The added advantage of using cheap dollar store yoga mats is the cut easy. The also allow you to ‘stand’ plates without them sliding down and breaking - giving you more room. Now that I’ve sold my homes and rent an apartment, I still do this. It the simplest way to have a clean convenient water proof interior. (Even inside my drawers to prevent my knifes etc from sliding around)

I coated the bottoms with waterproofing RedGard, it looks bright red and it works great!

[@KameraShy]

Excellent idea. I had used rubber carpet runner in places I lived in before, but they were never big enough to cover the entire area, were not permanent and shifted. It was also not as tough as the floor tile. For those recommending painted coatings, another hazard to watch out for is leaking household chemicals. I have had that happen more often than water. Those chemicals will eat away at anything. Couple of suggestions: rough up the bottom with sand paper to remove the paint and crud to help adhesion. And put 3" rubber base molding around the perimeter to capture any backward water flow.

Very good video sir. I've done something similar in the past, but instead of adhering the tiles to the base of the cabinet I install a first layer of tile with the adhesive side up. The second layer goes adhesive side down, staggering the joints and all. In effect you have a floating tile mat. Then I caulk the edges as you did. I guess my concern originally was that water could get through a joint and still get to the cabinet base's floor. I never tried adhering the tiles directly to the floor, so I may have overthought it.

I've had water leak problems under my kitchen sink cabinet. My kitchen was remodeled in 2015, so my cabinets aren't that old. There is a water alarm under my cabinet, and it's been sorely needed. This floor tile plus caulk layer would be a nice addition of protection. As it is, I keep a large plastic bucket beneath the drain/pipes/disposal and my RO system sits on a large plastic tray. Water has still managed to find a way onto the floor of my cabinet. Most recently, water leaked when the faucet sprayer loosened up at the head and dripped down the hose. Every leak I've had so far originated from a different source. I suppose the next one will come from the dishwasher.
